Chapter 16
That guy is the son of Fugaku the Evil Eye, the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan. No matter how much he leans towards the Konoha high-level officials, his status cannot be changed. When the time comes, even if he himself does not want to, the Uchiha clan behind him will take the initiative to help him take the position. It does not matter whether Uchiha Itachi has the idea of a coup or rebellion. As long as he is kept, as time goes by, even if he does not rebel, someone will push him to rebel.
"Humph, don't worry, I'm not that confused. I've never forgotten what Tobirama taught me. Itachi is nothing to worry about."Now that Shisui's Mangekyō is in his hands, plus the Wood Release Ninja hidden by Danzo, no matter how strong Uchiha Itachi is, he can't compare to the combination of Mangekyō and Wood Release.
At the Root base, Uchiha Shinichi, wearing an Anbu mask, and Utatane Koharu, led by an Anbu, are rushing towards somewhere quickly.
Swish, swish , swish~
"Is this the place? I didn't expect that Danzo would be so reckless and not be wary of the corpse of the first generation. It seems that he has absolute confidence in his roots."
In a slightly empty underground laboratory, Utane Koharu looked at the broken corpse of Hashirama Senju on the experimental table with a little emotion.
"Kaito, you continue the search, I will handle this. After all, you are the first generation of Konoha, it is not good for too many people to see you like this. Liuguang, you stay and assist me."
Seeing that the main goal was achieved, Utane Koharu turned around and gave instructions to the ninja who found the body of Senju Hashirama, and left Uchiha Shinichi, who was aliased as Liuguang, behind.
"Yes, Elder Koharu!"Faced with Utane Koharu's order, Kaito had no doubts. After all, the Sandaime had already said that Elder Koharu would be in charge here. After a flash
, only Utane Koharu, Uchiha Shinichi, and Senju Hashirama, who was lying on the experimental table, were left in the secret room.
"Finally, I got it. I took away the body of Senju Hashirama first, and I'll leave the finishing work to you."In order to avoid more trouble, I must get rid of the body of Senju Hashirama immediately, otherwise the high-ranking officials of Konoha outside will intervene, and my chances of taking action in the future will be even slimmer. After all, the other gods are only temporary, and it consumes a lot of pupil power.
"I understand, sir, you can go without any worries."Faced with Uchiha Shinichi's request, Utatane Koharu had no intention of refusing. As for how to explain to Sarutobi Hiruzen afterwards?
What happened in Danzo's iron-clad Root base? It's obvious who the biggest suspect is. Wouldn't it be a pity to not use a good Nabekage?
"Bang~"
A cloud of smoke filled the air, and the body of Senju Hashirama was put into the sealed scroll.
""Mayfly Technique~"
Putting away the scroll, Uchiha Shinichi quickly dived into the ground, bypassed the main gate, and went back to the interior of the Death Forest.
Ten minutes later~
Utatane Koharu, along with a group of Anbu and a slightly ignorant boy, appeared in front of the Third Hokage carrying a large number of boxes containing scrolls.
"Are they all here? Is he the Wood Release Ninja A?" Looking at this ordinary-looking boy in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen really couldn't associate him with Wood Release.
"It should be him. Apart from those deformed experimental subjects, he is the only normal person in the Root base, excluding the Root members. And when we found him, he was practicing Wood Release Ninjutsu." Glancing at the Wood Release boy, Utatane Koharu introduced the situation to the Third Hokage in a somewhat formulaic manner.
"Very good, don't use the code name Jia anymore, you will be called Yamato from now on. You should live in the sunshine as you have the Wood Release Technique. The future of Konoha still depends on young people like you. Patting Yamato on the shoulder, Sarutobi Hiruzen began his skilled brainwashing education.
"Hiruzen, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. After the turmoil in the Root, there are still many things that need me to deal with."Humph, the same old trick of appeasement and persuasion. I have carefully taught Jia, how could he believe these nonsense of yours? But this is not a bad thing. I can use Hiruzen's resources to train my own people, and I can also place an important chess piece next to Hiruzen. Why not?
Thinking of this, Danzo's mood after losing the Mangekyō Sharingan improved a little.
"Well, Yan, go help Danzo." Holding Yamato's hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen casually left Mitomon Yan behind, and left with Utane Koharu and his group without looking back.
"Danzo, what you did this time was indeed too much. Don't blame Hiruzen for being so angry. After all, you even hid something like Kotoamatsukami from him. Anyone would think too much."Looking at the expressionless Danzo, Mitomon En kindly counseled
"Humph, after all these years, Yan, don't you know Hiruzen? Kotoamatsukami is just an excuse, the main purpose of his action this time is for my Wood Release, let's go, the Root will have to rely on you and Koharu's help in the future."
Without the activation seal of the Tongue-Eradication Technique, even if you come to seize power, what can you do? The Root will eventually have to listen to me, Danzo, you are just going through the motions.

"Shinichi, what are you doing in such a hurry? The village has been in turmoil recently, so you'd better not go out as much as possible."Looking at the anxious neighbor, Uchiha Yuri kindly reminded him.
The atmosphere in the clan is becoming more and more depressing. The Anbu who are monitoring the outside of the clan have become more blatant since what happened to Shisui. All signs indicate that the conflict between the clan and the village is irreconcilable. It is not appropriate to go out at this time.
"Got it, Yuri-chan, I'm just walking around, what's the danger? Besides, I'm a Chunin of the Uchiha clan." The sudden voice startled Uchiha Shinichi's heart, but Shinichi quickly adjusted his mentality and pretended to be indifferent to Yuri's concern.
""Alas, you should be more careful. Chunin is nothing in the eyes of some people. You are the only one left in Uncle Domon's family. It's always better to be more careful."
Touching Uchiha Shinichi's head, Yuri reminded him with a tone of brother control.
After all, this cousin in front of him was also someone he had watched grow up since he was a child. When Aunt Lingren left, she specifically asked him to be taken care of by him.
"Got it, got it, Yuri-chan, go do your thing."A mere two-magatama special jonin actually lectures a Kage-level strongman like me? You are simply lawless!
"Humph, you are becoming less and less cute as you grow up. When you were little, you called me sister all the time when you wanted snacks, but now you call me Yuri-chan all the time. You are such a disrespectful guy."Uchiha Yuri looked at Shinichi with a tearful look on his face. Did this guy also feel the influence of the tense atmosphere in the clan? It seems that his temperament has changed a lot recently.
